d. A. Jones, of Beeton, Can, uses
chloroform in introducing queens. He
is very successful, seldom losing

The walls of kitchen should al
ways be painted, and light color is to
be preferred. They will need washing
twice year, or at the most every three
months. If they are plastered or cal

the job is done.-IT0g Times.
